About

'Easy Way Out' was the fifth clip released from Gotye's J-Award-winning album Making Mirrors.

Melbourne animator/director Darcy Prendergast and his team at Oh Yeah Wow, also behind the video for Gotye's 'Eyes Wide Open', took 9 months to painstakingly craft just over two minutes of animation for the 'Easy Way Out' clip.

"We completely disregarded 'good business sense' and created a piece of art that would hopefully leave the viewer's cerebral cortex sliding down the computer screen," Prendergast told triple j.

"From a visual perspective, we wanted to bombard our audience with magic."
